"Matt and Tyson were awesome. On time, professional, respectful of property, solved tricky sump pump install. Knew codes. Efficient, clean, good electronic system for appointments, reminders, etc."
"Joe and Marco did an amazing job! Great pricing, excellent communication, and outstanding customer service. They were professional, efficient, and did quality plumbing work. Highly recommend them!"
"Rooter Guys installed a sump pump in my basement after we began experiencing flooding. They rearranged their schedule in order to fit us in sooner given the urgency of the project. They were professional, hardworking and kept us informed throughout the process."
"The company showed up when they said they would and completed the job within the time frame that they stated. Communication was a little rough with the field, but communication with the office was very responsive. Considering the extent of the work and the constraints within which they had to work, there was remarkably little collateral damage done. Unfortunately I was not able to witness the work before it was covered up and so I cannot comment on the quality of the installation, but can say that the company did a good job protecting the surrounding landscaped areas and seemed contentious and thoughtful in their approach to the work. I would definitely work with them again."
"Todd came out due to my lack of water pressure. He accommodated my availability since I work full time. He was friendly, extremely thorough, explained everything, and was very generous with his time. He was able to increase my water pressure so I don't have to spend 2 hours watering my grass anymore but can run 2 hoses with sprinkler heads at the same time! I am incredibly grateful for his knowledge and help."
"Nate Medford conducted our electrical inspection offered by the Awesome Club Membership Program. Nate didn't just inspect, he explained. He also didn't just explain, he corrected issues along the way. Today he brought our subpanel up to code and prevented a probable electrical fire. In addition, Nate spent lengthy time on the phone with me last week, giving clear guidance on LED fixtures to replace our florescent lighting. With Matthew's help, today the 6 light fixtures were replaced, a necessary wireless carbon detector and GFCI outlet installed, and for fun and convenience, 2 USB outlets given. Special note: the GFCI outlet wasn’t a simple swap-out. Nate had to cut into the trim for that installation, which he did incredibly cleanly and precisely. Upon completion, the work areas were cleared of trash and left in great condition. Thank you so much for all your work, your attention to detail, for caring."
"I knew I needed my sewer to be done. I had 3 estimates and this company was fantastic! The quote was fair. Rocky Mountain is professional and trust worthy. Thought it was going to be a few day project. They got it done in one day and back in service! If you?re having drain or plumbing issues. Please call Rocky Mountain plumbing!"
"JJ came over the same day I called to replace my sewage excavation pump. He was professional, timely, transparent and thorough. I'd hire him again in a hearbeat."
"JJ was very courteous and explained everything he was doing. Replace our old plastic sump pump with a sturdy cast iron sump pump that should last a lot longer!"
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
If you have a self-cleaning washing machine but you’re still seeing lint, your water pump filter might be clogged. To clean it, you should unscrew the drain hose, then remove the water pump filter. From there, you can inspect it and clean it with warm water before replacing it. Check to be sure your washing machine is functioning by running a short cycle.
Some sump pumps are powered by water rather than electricity. Water-powered sump pumps generally use one gallon of city water to pump out two gallons of water from its basin. Therefore, if you're looking at a potential 10,000-gallon flood, your sump pump will need to use 5,000 gallons of city water to prevent it.
To maintain your sump pump, start by checking it every three to four months to ensure it’s in working order. Clear any debris from the pit because blockages can prevent the pump from operating efficiently. You should also test the pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. If it turns on automatically and drains the water, it’s functioning correctly. Inspect the discharge line for clogs, and ensure it directs water away from your home. Once a year, clean the pump itself, and consider having it professionally serviced for optimal performance.
A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.
Costs depend on pump type, labor rates, and the extent of repairs or installation needs.
